occasionally when im driving and i take my foot off the gas the car will slightly/softly jerk once and slighty slow down only when i take foot off gas, in any gear its in, then it will drive fine when i press on the gas, then at times itll all just go away and run fine. could it be dirty injectors i need to clean or just get new ones. all this jus happened recently help!?

manual hondas will shut off the injectors off on decel in gear. i think depending on the tps adjustment, i could be wrong, but as you touch the pedal, the injectors will turn on.

It only happens when it's cold? When was the last time you checked your coolant level? When the coolant is a bit low, the IACV doesn't function as well as it will in an air free system and in the cold, the not quite up to par IACV will be more pronounced.

That could be the reason for the jerk only when completely off the gas becuase the engine is relying on the IACV to give it enough air to breathe with the throttle plate closed.

coolant level is always at near max level, its a slight jerk and slighty slows down, but this hasn't happened in awhile till today in the morning, then it went away the rest of the day when i drove around, after work and all, but when the day gets warm or hot its perfectly fine, wierd.
